Easy Turkey Vegetable Soup

Easy Turkey Vegetable Soup

Its been a little cool lately. Made me want to have some soup. I had picked up some turkey drumsticks so I put them in the crock pot with some onions, carrots, celery, garlic and herbs. Covered the meat and veggies with water and let it cook overnight. The next morning I strained it and had lovely turkey stock. I also had some seasonal veggies so I threw it all together and ended up with an easy and tasty dinner. If you don’t have turkey stock- use what you have.

Turkey Vegetable Soup

1 onion, chopped

 oil

 3 carrots, peeled and sliced

3 small potatoes. peeled and cubed

1 c. corn- cut from 1-2 ears

1 medium tomato, peeled and chopped

2 c. shredded cooked turkey *

 3-4 cups turkey stock- or whatever you have and like

Fresh parsley and basil

 salt and pepper to taste

dash of hot sauce

Heat oil in pot and cook onion until golden. Add carrots and cook a few more minutes. Add remaining vegetables, turkey and stock and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes- or until veggies are tender. Add herbs and simmer a few more minutes. Adjust seasoning and add hot sauce. Serves 2-3 for dinner.

*If you want to turn this into a vegetarian soup add vegetable stock  and add a couple of cups of cooked beans. Kidney beans would work well.
